Legolas tryed to pull back, but his restrains stopped him. The red hot metel sizzled his skin, making Legolas scream louder even when he tryed not to. Estel was forced to listen to his friends cry of pain. Tror pulled the metel away and looked at Estel. He then brought the metel down on him as well. The metel wasn't to hot for it was on Legolas the longest. He took the metel away and looked at his two captives.
"Now that you know what I will do to you if you don't answer my questions right," Tror said. "What were you doing in our cave?"
"It's not your cave," Estel said. "The waterfall is on Rivendell land and so is that cave."
"Foolish youth, Everyone knows any cave is a dwarves cave. No matter who's land it's on."
"That's not true," Legolas said. "Lord Elrond told you were your caves are. He never said anything about the waterfall caves."
"So little elf, you think you can argue with a dwarf? By all means go ahead. I would love to hear what the son of Thranduil as to say."
"This elf only speaks the truth. You traveled onto Mirkwood land and got caught by my father. You got what you deserved. The waterfall we went to was on Rivendell land, therefor, it's not yours."
Estel just looked at his friend. He never knew Legolas could talk like that. He talked just like his father. He heard Tror growl and then a slap could be heard. Tror smacked Legolas across the face, making Legolas's head fly to the side, hitting the wall behind him.
"No one talks to a dwarf like that. If you want to act like your father, then go ahead. I will treat you just like he treated me." He stood up and walked away from the kids.
"Sorry Estel, I don't know what happened," Legolas said, looking at the ground. His head started to hurt from hitting the wall.
"It's alright Legolas. I would have done the same thing, but you beat me to it," Estel said with a smile. He looked around and got a good look at where they are. They were chained up in the darkess part of the cave, light from the dwarves lanterns was the only light they got. There was no food or water and if there was, it was only big enough for a rat to eat.
"We need to get out of here," Legolas finally said, breaking the silence. "I want to see the trees and the sun."
"As do I, but we can't go anywhere right now. I left my neckless back in the caves incase Elladan and Elrohir went there."
"I hope they know where we are." Legolas reached up the best he could do and touched the part of his face where the metel burned his skin. He noticed Estel had a mark but not as bad.
"How's your wrist?" Estel asked, remembering his friends injury.
"It's starting to hurt again. These cuffs are not helping," Legolas said. He would've told Estel he was alright, he already knew that if Legolas in the caves, he would never be alright. He lend up against the wall and felt himself slip into a sleep.
Estel looked over at his friend and smiled. Rest did look good, and he knew Tror wouldn't come by anytime soon. He lend over to Legolas as much as his chains would let him and fell asleep on Legolas's shoulder.
Rivendell:
"So you think dwarves took Legolas and Estel?" Alca asked. Alca was the only brother that would talk about this. The other two were outside with Elrohir on the practise field. It was mid evening (time flys when you are worried and locked in a cave.) and Elladan thought it would be wise to get things straight with Legolas's brothers.
"We believe though we are wishing it is not true. The dwarves will not spar them, not matter the promblem we had here."
"Didn't Lord Elrond tell them where the boarder was?"
"Yes. Waterfall is still on Rivendell land. If they did take the kids, then they are going to have a talk with adar. I know nothing of this."
"Have you told your adar and ours?" Alca asked. He knew when his father gets the message, he would be over in no time, looking for Legolas. He reminded Thranduil of his wife. The brothers were protective his their little brother not only for their mothers looks, but he was Mirkwoods treasure. One that if went missing, elves would go looking.
"Yes. I will get a response soon. I am sorry about all this," Elladan said. He and Elrohir felt guilty about all this. He had his hand in his pocket, gripping the neckless he found.
"We do not hold this against you. You two did the right thing by keeping the young ones safe. It's the dwarves who will pay, if they did take them." He stood up and placed a hand on Elladan's shoulder. "Come. We must go out and tell the others and wait for a response."
"Okay."
They went out to the field and watched. Nightfall ran up to Elladan and handed him something and ran away, back to his post. Elladan opened the paper and looked at Alca.
"Message from Lord Elrond?"
"Yes."
"What's it say?" By now, Elrohir, Runya, and Feaelen ran over to hear the message.
"My sons, thank you for informing me of what happened. Thranduil says he does not blam you for what happened. As soon as we are done here we will come back to Rivendell as fast as we can. You have my permission to go to the caves of the dwarves and see if the young ones are there. If they are, make are, make sure you get them and the dwarves responsible. Good luck and we will see you in two days."
"Then it's final," Elrohir said. "We follow the cave in the waterfall and find them."
"I agree brother," Elladan said, putting the letter in his pocket. " Alca, Runya, and Feaelen, do you wish to come? You do not have to go. We can bring Legolas back to you."
"We go," Feaelen said. "Legolas is our brother and we will help you bring him back and Estel as well."
"Then we will set off now." Elladan and the others ran over to their horses, while Elrohir told Nightfall what's going to happen. Once he got on his horse, they rode off towards the waterfall, hopeing they will find them.
Caves:
Legolas woke and looked around. His face still hurt, but not as bad, as did his wrist. He looked over at the sleeping Estel and smiled. He looked up as Lorin walked over to them. Legolas shook Estel a little, drawing the boy from his slumbers.
"Tror decided it's time to have a little talk elf." He grabbed Legolas by the wrist and unlocked the cuffs with his keys. The moment he was free from the chains he kicked the dwarf in the leg, making him fall. He grabbed the keys from him and got Estel out of the cuffs.
"Lets go," Legolas said. The two ran pass the fallen dwarf and made a break for it.
Estel looked right and left, watching dwarves as they ran by. He hoped they would get out but his thoughts stopped when he saw ten dwarves in front of them. He grabbed Legolas arm and stopped him.
"Where do you think you're going?" Bifur asked.
"You can't be leaving," Tror said, stepping up from behind the kids. He grabbed Legolas by his hurt wrist, making Legolas wince in pain, and grabbed Estel by the arm as well. "You know what we do to people who try to get away from us?"
"Sould I get the things ready?" Nerin asked with a smile.
"Yes. Bring them over when you're done." Tror dragged them over to where his seat was and looked at all the dwarves working. "My friends," he said, "Please stop what you are doing and watch. These kids, a human boy and an elf, tried to get away from us. I thought since you all worked so hard, you decerve a show of entertainment."
"This does not sound good," Estel whispered. Legolas's eyes went wide when he saw Bifur walk up with two whips.
"Birfur, take the boy and I'll take the elf. We will teach them not to run away." Tror handed Estel to Birfur and looked down at Legolas. "I'm going to have fun with you." He threw Legolas to the ground and brought the whip down on his back just as he hit the ground. Estel was forced to watch, yet again, his friend get hurt. Legolas did not yell out as the whip made contct with his skin.
"Come on elf. Cry out!" a dwarf yelled.
"Yes Legolas, cry out for us. I know you hurt," Tror said. He kicked Legolas in the ribs and laughed when Legolas turned to face Estel.
'Are you alright?'
'Just wait' Legolas felt another kick on hia back and looked up at a laughing Tror.
"Well? Are you going to scream for us?"
"I'll tell you I'm going to do," Legolas said. He kicked Tror's feet from under him, bring the dwarf down on his back. Legolas got up as fast as he could and kicked Tror in the side. Estel got out Birfur's grip and pulled Legolas away from Tror.
"Lets get out of here!" Estel pulled Legolas with him as they ran pass dwarves. He need could fell Legolas stumbling as they ran. He stopped and looked at his friend. Legolas was breathing hard, and trembling all over. He knew his friend was fading. The darkness must have taken over his body while they were sleeping.
"I am fine. We have to get out of here," Legolas breathed out. He went to run but fell when something wrapped around his ankles. He looked up and saw, Lorin, and Nerin running after them. Lorin had rope in his hand, which was around Legolas's ankles.
Estel bent down and tried to help Legolas, but he felt rope around his chest, pulling him away from Legolas. He looked up and saw Birfur and Dror. This was a problem.
"Now that you know what I will do to you if you don't answer my questions right," Tror said. "What were you doing in our cave?"
"It's not your cave," Estel said. "The waterfall is on Rivendell land and so is that cave."
"Foolish youth, Everyone knows any cave is a dwarves cave. No matter who's land it's on."

"Birfur, take the boy and I'll take the elf. We will teach them not to run away." Tror handed Estel to Birfur and looked down at Legolas. "I'm going to have fun with you." He threw Legolas to the ground and brought the whip down on his back just as he hit the ground. Estel was forced to watch, yet again, his friend get hurt.

'Are you alright?'
'Just wait' Legolas felt another kick on hia back and looked up at a laughing Tror.
"Well? Are you going to scream for us?"
